Re: Great Plan

p2p started way before broadband. I used to use napster on my dial up way before broadband was popular or even close to being widespread.
I had Cox@Home in late 1996...before Napster was a wet spot on the mattress. No, P2P didn't start way before broadband.

And USENET and IRC were around long before Cox@Home, so what's your point?

Absolutely agreed. I started with Flashcom 416/416 SDSL from Northpoint back in late 1996.

You're forgetting about FTP and FSP. Not exactly P2P, but they were popular for grabbing files.
